Back in the day you could find a forum post explaining exactly how anything worked, grey hat or not? Since then the internet has sanitized that out of existence. Should Lemmy revive that culture?

Lawyers, platform moderation, and SEO have wiped it out. What's left is boring drivel whose only purpose is to sell you a product or a course or avoid a lawsuit. I realize some have moved to private groups and there are still sites if you look hard enough. But is that enough?

Federation feels like the right place to bring that culture back rather than let it die or has that ship sailed?
